Well this is what I did:
I converted 9.8m to miles and got this 0.00609mi
I then divided this # by 10,000 to get as close to 60 miles as I could get, which resulted in 60.9mi
I then divided 10,000 by 3600 (the amount of seconds in as hour) which gave me 2.77seconds.
I'm still not clear as...
Homework Statement
A car accelerates at 9.8m/s^2 How long does it take to go from 0-60 MPH?
Homework Equations
I don't know which ones may be relevant, this is where I'm stumped.
The Attempt at a Solution
I somehow got 2.77 seconds as an answer but I'm not sure how I got it. I am...
I think I get it. In regards to looking at what the graph may look like for this situation runner two has not a steeper slope but a higher one to compensate for the time it took for him/her to reach maximum speed. Do I have that right DarklightA?
Homework Statement
Suppose that two runners run a 100-meter dash, but the first runner reaches maximum speed more quickly than the second runner. Both runners maintain constant speed once they have reached their maximum speed and cross the finish line at the same time. Which runner has the...
